Job description

Overview

At HC-One, kindness is at the heart of everything we do across our Dementia, Nursing, Residential and Specialist care homes. Our residents are people with their own stories to tell, and by joining us you'll have the chance to give something back while helping them live with dignity and purpose.

Role: Care Assistant

We're looking for an enthusiastic and committed Care Assistant to join our team. Working under the guidance of a Registered Nurse, you'll support the physical, emotional and social wellbeing of our residents. This includes personal care such as washing, dressing, hygiene and meals, as well as helping with daily activities in the home.

You'll deliver care that comes from the heart - making sure residents never lose their individuality. Whether you're supporting someone with limited mobility, offering comfort to a resident who is distressed, or providing compassionate end-of-life care, you'll always put their wellbeing first.

Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and therefore it is important that you are able to recognise the signs which may indicate possible abuse, harm or neglect in its different forms and know what to do if there are any concerns. All colleagues are required to attend safeguarding training appropriate to their role and to undertake additional training in associated areas. You also have the ability to seek appropriate advice and report concerns, including escalation if action is not taken.

About HC-One and the Kindness the HC-One Way

At HC-One, kindness is more than a word—it's a way of life. To provide the kindest possible care, everyone at HC-One brings and nurtures five key qualities: We are curious, compassionate, creative, courageous and dependable.

We champion inclusivity, fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and prioritise inclusive working practices across everything we do. We are also enhancing the way we support residents through digital care planning. This technology is helping us streamline care, improve outcomes, and make daily tasks more efficient. You’ll be supported as you learn and adapt.

Qualifications and Requirements

• Strong communication and compassionate care approach
• Ability to work under the guidance of a Registered Nurse
• Recognition of safeguarding signs and willingness to undertake safeguarding training
• Eligibility to work in the UK without sponsorship (no visa sponsorship available)
• Willingness to learn and adapt to digital care planning tools
